Factorio $22.32 using paypal on the website

Post by NoPantsMcDance »

Just wanted to mention that using paypal it charged me $22.32 because it converted it to Euros and paypal does their currency conversion. Not sure if intentional or not but I don't mind helping you guys out so I bought it again anyways.

It is currency conversion. If I purchase something at the humblestore the $ are converted to € (I live in germany). So paypal does it. You buy for € and paypal converts it to $

That's what I figured. Just threw me off because the site said "this costs 20USD" at the page.

Copy/paste from the website....

Price:
20€
Your currency will be converted to € (Euro). This is $20 (US dollars).

So the euro conversion is correct, but the dollar estimate is wrong.

Yes, there should be no Dollar value because of the fluctuating exchange rate between Dollar and Euro, or at least make it clear that this is only an estimated value. (Or get the exchange rate from some website and then convert the amount automatically.)
